[49] iam hoc considerate, cuius modi accusatores in tanto iudicio simus habituri, cum et ipse alienus ex ea facultate, si quam habet, aliquantum detracturus sit, et Caecilius tum denique se aliquid¹ futurum² putet, si alienus minus vehemens fuerit et sibi primas in dicendo partis concesserit. quartum quem sit habiturus non video, nisi quem forte ex illo grege moratorum³, qui subscriptionem sibi postularunt cuicumque vos delationem dedissetis:

Divinatio against Q. Caecilius Perseus (Cicero. The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Volume 1. Yonge, Charles Duke, translator. London: Bell, 1903.) — 49 focus

[49] Now consider this, O judges, what sort of accusers we shall have in this most important trial; when Allienus himself will somewhat abstain from displaying all his abilities, if he has any, and Caecilius will only be able to think himself of any use, because Allienus is not so vigorous as he might be, and voluntarily allows him the chief share in the display. What fourth counsel he is to have with him I do not know, unless it be one of that crowd of losers of time who have entreated to be allowed an inferior part in this prosecution, whoever he might be to whom you gave the lead.
